Amritsar airport: No Singapore flights from Feb 2

Amritsar: Singapore Airlines will stop flights from here from February 2. But Rs 140- crore modernisation and expansion project under way is likely to be commissioned soon.
Senior manager of Singapore Airlines Ang said it had been decided to terminate thrice-a-week flights for reasons like lack of cargo and J class load. There was no move to review the decision though they would like to continue the operations as they were getting sufficient economy class load.
Earlier, Jet Airways had stopped daily Amritsar-London flights in November last year, to the chagrin of NRI diaspora and vegetable exporters.
Meanwhile, the Goair has decided to launch flights from February 15 connecting the holy city with Mumbai and Srinagar. Traders and industrialists have hailed Goair for connecting the city with Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir. Airport authority officials have yet to receive the flight operation schedule.
